DIAMOND AND OTHER MATERIALS

Diamond is the primary material for nano indentation. Only single crystal diamond, free of impurities or inclusions is used. Most Micro Star diamond nano indenters are shaped at one end of a large square section prism, as seen on some of the illustrations.

Diamond indenters are accurately aligned with the atomic crystal orientation such that the axis is in line with the 100 directions. One face of 3-sided and all four faces of 4-sided indenters follow the 100 crystal direction. Other crystal orientations are available at customer request.

DIAMOND KNIFE EXCHANGE & RESHARPENING

Exchange any Brand – All types of diamond knives from any manufacturer (including Micro Star), of any age or size, are accepted in exchange for a new Micro Star diamond knife. If we can resharpen the diamond knife as is, we charge the resharpen price. If the diamond is badly damaged or the knife cannot otherwise be resharpened, it will be replaced at our exchange price.

Resharpening Service – Regardless of the age or size, most diamond knifes are accepted for resharpening, if the diamond is not damaged beyond repair. It will be refurbished to the same Micro Star guaranteed flawless quality and the same angle and size of your original knife. If these standards cannot be met, a new diamond will be sent at no extra cost.
